Dash is way above Eth and Ltc. XMR is barely noticeable on this scale. Still a way to go to catch up with bitcoin and bcash however

This chart is totally useless. These are all different PoW algorithms and not comparable in any way. For example my GPU can mine SCRYPT (Litecoin) about 650 khash/s but get only about 300 hash/s for CryptoNight (Monero). And for X11 (Dash) I got maybe 1,5 - 2 Mhash/s IIRC (it was a long time ago).

Frequently we hear arguments over which blockchain project has the “best tech, with fans arguing back and forth on the merits of proof-of-work vs. proof-of-stake, ring signatures vs. zero-knowledge proofs, and on-chain transactions vs. lightning network, who has the best developers, and so on. For better or worse, however, the purest code doesn’t always win. In fact, often times middling or lower-end projects end up seeing a whole lot of success beyond that of some of the greatest innovators in the space.

A new survey by Dash India and Remit Dash reveals that a significant portion of Indians are unsatisfied with the fees and lead times of remittances, but many Indians still have not tried to use cryptocurrencies despite having heard of the technology.

The Indian remittance market totals $70 billion USD a year with the average transaction rate above 5.5%, which is around $4 billion USD alone. Four specific survey questions illustrated just how expensive remittances are and how long they take to process, which has caused many Indians to be dissatisfied with currently available services.

Emergence of Government-backed Cryptocurrencies Highlights Necessity of Open Source Innovation

In a recent interview with Cointelegraph, Dash Core Group CEO, Ryan Taylor, discussed how central bank-issued cryptocurrencies are the “inevitable future”.

“I do think it’s inevitable. They governments all are going — through either competitors’ pressure or through their own desires — to launch their own cryptocurrencies. But I don’t think it is where the most significant innovations will occur.”

Nevertheless, Ryan added that the “free market can ultimately design the better money than the government” and that it will be consumers that “will decide what form of money they want to consume and use as part of their lives”. Ryan also predicted that regulations could start as early as 2019 in developed nations like the U.S., but that “the smaller nations will move first as the risks for them are lower”.

The picture explains it pretty well, when Bitcoin goes down all altcoins go down. You need to look at the whole crypto market that is currently still in a heavy bear mood, not just focus on Dash.Some altcoins (Tron, Iota, Neo) are doing a lot worse then Dash, which is why Dash is slowly climbing ranks.

Looking at coinmarketcap, Dash is actually pretty stable this last week and has the lowest decline percentage (Tether excluding).Dash is currently one of the few cryptocurrencies that is outperforming Bitcoin, looking at the weekly overview.

A MarketWatch article has drawn attention to the significant adoption that cryptocurrencies are seeing in developing nations, but particularly highlighted Dash adoption in Venezuela.

The article started off by following Eugenia Alcalá, organizer of Dash Venezuela, in the grocery store and detailed her experience of wanting to purchase some basic items for 200 million Bolivars, but the point of sales system only allowed 20 million Bolivars at a time. She thus has to make 10 separate transactions with each taking up to 5 minutes. The article detailed how the Venezuelan economy has contracted 10% this year, totaling 45% over the past 4 years and the latest inflation figures around 45,000% and the recent IMF prediction that inflation could reach 1,000,000% by the end of the year. The article discussed how this makes Venezuela a “perfect storm”, as Eugenia described, for the adoption of cryptocurrencies as a potential solution.

Cryptocurrency debit cards are becoming more prominent as consumers are looking for easy ways to spend their cryptocurrency until mass adoption occurs.

A new Forbes article focused on Wirex and how it was able to gain UK Financial Conduct Authority approval, which is a significant and by no means an easy step. The e-money license will allow Wirex to “operate in 23 countries from the European Union as well as issue personal International Banking Numbers, legal ATM cards, exchange services and hold client funds in segregated accounts instead of company accounts”. Pavel Matveev, one of Wirex founders, said he believes there is room for both cryptocurrencies and the traditional banking framework.
